Fabrication - Industrial Pipe

Sample Projects:

JH Kelly offers code quality piping fabrication with more than 100 registered weld procedures covering both carbon steel and alloy materials.  Our bulk gas distribution system ensures consistent quality on every weld.  A competent industrial pipe fabrication management team and qualified tradesmen, coupled with advanced control systems, ensure your needs for quality products will be met -- on budget and on schedule.

Our experienced and motivated work force is capable of producing up to 2,500 diameter inches of quality-fabricated pipe per day.

The bottom line: our industrial pipe fabrication services can help you save money whether the job is large or small. A shop weld is one-third the cost of a comparable field weld, and by fabricating pipe at our shop, we’re able to reduce schedule duration and field labor. By choosing JH Kelly, you’re teaming up with one of the best pipe fabricators and installers in the industry.

Industrial Pipe Fabrication Facility:

• Over 55,000 square feet of climate-controlled material receiving, fabrication, assembly and loading space.  Easy access to road and rail; air and deep sea ports are within minutes of our facility.
• Weld stations are flexibly designed to handle individual pipe spools through 96" diameter.
• Equipped with automated, semi-automated and manual machines to complete each cut, prep and weld with the highest degree of accuracy and quality.
• Bulk Gas Distribution System directly supplies stations the necessary weld gasses to perform qualified welding processes.
• Weld stations are serviced by jib and bridge cranes to allow ease of movement of material both in and out of the shop.
